WHAT ALL GOOD IMPROV TRAINING SHOULD INCLUDE:

A clear, simple, step-by-step approach. Many teachers just throw a bunch of random Improv games together and call it a class. I saw a teacher with 30 years of experience even say, "This game is fun, but I have no idea what it teaches." I call that shoddy teaching. Any good teacher should have a clear blueprint for how to take their students step-by-step to their goals.

The teacher should adapt to the abilities and learning styles of the the students. Just because someone is a good improviser does not mean they are a good teacher. It's sad how often people form negative ideas about themselves -- when they just had a bad teacher. A good teacher adapts to the needs and learning styles of each person.

They should explain how to apply what you're learning to your life. Many classes don't do this at all. I've seen a teacher explain a concept and immediately do the opposite. Part of the joy of Improv is using the skills all over your life. That can be tricky and a good teacher should be doing it and teaching you how to yourself.

The teacher should create a warm and supportive environment for learning. Many people use improv as a powerful tool for overcoming fears and insecurities. It's how you can break out of your comfort zone. It is vital that the class be an environment where you can feel safe and protected.

What are the skills you need to learn?

Okay, so now: what the heck are the skills you need?

Overcome stage fright and feel confident in front of others.

Project confidence and create a positive image.

Connect with others and quickly create a cohesive team. (Whether with 2 people or 10.)

How to let your ideas flow freely -- even with everyone watching.

Get a scene or story started from a scratch.

Communicate so fluidly it looks like you're reading another person's mind. (It's a simple trick.)

Encourage and support other's ideas so they're excited to work with you.
